The computer is on and you can hear the fan running and everything just no screen?Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated :)Thank you!\015

Answers :

This could have several causes, including malware installed on your system, but is frequently the result of some kind of hardware driver conflict. Have you recently installed any new hardware or software to your system? If so, disconnect it and try again.The black screen is an indication that the windows os is not booting onto the system. If you have the recovery console installed, or have the cds, you can run the recovery console to troubleshoot or repair your installation of windows. This procedure is different for xp or vista, so we need to know what os you're on, as well as any error messages you see when it fails to boot.To begin with, try tapping F8 as it boots up and see it you can get into the OS options screen, then choose Last Known good configuration to boot windows.Here's a great article to help you troubleshoot the situation, then let us know how it goes and what comes up..

Laptop screen is black

When I turn on my toshiba satellite laptop it displays the toshiba screen as it normally would, followed by screen with black and white progress bar at bottom but freezes at about 1/4 the way. So my only option is to restart. Then I tried doing the F8 thing to get to the startup screens with all the configuration settings. I can't get any farther than this. I tried using an xp boot disc I downloaded off the internet and this also gets me nowhere? Any suggestions?
